Pitchers shine in Airport's double wins

CARLETON — Airport's baseball team received a pair of memorable pitching performances in sweeping a doubleheader from Adrian by identical 2-1 scores Wednesday.

Zach Baker pitched a brilliant complete game in the opener after dedicating the game to his grandfather, Ben Baker, who died Friday and was buried earlier Wednesday.

Rich Dubke took a no-hitter into the seventh inning of the nightcap. He lost his no-hitter but still picked up a compete-game victory.

Brandon Lewis drove in the winning run with a fifth inning home run as the Jets improved to 4-2.

Airport also swept the JV games 12-8 and 12-0 and is now 5-3 overall. Tyler Page had three hits including two doubles. Steve Georgic pitched a shutout in the nightcap.

Ryan Strieby had three of Toledo's seven hits. Brandon Inge went 0-for-3 and was hit by a pitch in the second game of his rehabilitation assignment.

The Mud Hens scored all their runs in the inning. Strieby doubled, Brad Eldred drew a walk, Jerad Head doubled in the first run, Justin Henry walked, Bryan Holaday stroked a two-run double and Matt Young hit a sacrifice fly.
